I agree about the moving parts. The flat panel approach is probably best for an RV.

My next concern is weight. Five 100W panels at 40 pounds each is 200 pounds. Add three batteries, wire, charge control, inverter, and the panel support and I've got 500 pounds.

Figure $1000 for everything and a generator looks cheap unless I went full time off grid. I bought a nice RV park membership so I wouldn't have to be off grid. I may abstain from solar until I've had some field experience.

Nibs: Did you visit Quartzite, and if so, did you enjoy it? There seems to be a love/hate relationship among those who talk about it on the web.
